hey there. been a reader of this thread since i found the forum and wanted to say thanks.
i am looking for some good workouts for my legs!
i dont have access to a formal gym outside of a leg press. i have alot of different free weights and i am all for creativity.
i have been working out and lifting as a hobby for about 4 years, but have recently been more serious about it. until now i have only done uphill runs.
i appreciate your advice; anything creative to do outside of a gym would be wonderful. the uphill runs have been nice but i feel like the rest of my body gains alot faster.
i lift 4 days a week..!
Hey there, thanks for the kind words.

that's a really great exercise plan for people without access to a gym looking for some interesting leg and cardio training.
if you are looking for PURE leg training without a gym....you can try the following:
DB Leg Lunges (5 sets of 8-16 reps, heavy weight)
DB Squats (5 sets of 8-12 reps, heavy weight)
Explosive Squats (jump up in the air as high as you can, land into a full squat, hold it for 5 seconds, then explode back up into the jump - repeat)
Straight leg DB deadlifts (5 sets of heaviest weight possible for maximum reps)
Leg Press (5 sets of 5 reps of heaviest weight possible)
Holding DB in hands and walking up stairs (as much as possible until failure - just be careful not to fall)
Lastly....SWIMMING!!! The more swimming the better!
